Are there any subject pre-requisites?
We offer Fundamentals of MATHS and Fundamentals of ENGLISH classes. These classes are not pre-requisites, nor are they mandatory. They are simply recommended to students who lack the foundational concepts of Maths and English, are not confident in the subject, have not sat the CSEC subject within the past 4 years, or who received a grade higher than 4 at their last sitting. These courses are designed to prepare students for the more rigorous CSEC classes the following year.
Anyone can enroll in the CSEC courses as usual.
What are SBAs, and is it important for me to know what they are?
SBAs are critical to be aware of.
What are SBAs?
An SBA is an individual or group project conducted during the course of the Programme by the tutor. It is created and submitted by the student, and assessed by the tutor, using criteria provided by CXC.
Several of our courses carry an SBA component:
CSEC Mathematics
Biology
EDPM
Information Technology
Social Studies - Wednesdays
(See our Timetable for details)
SBA scores contribute to anywhere between 20% and 30% of the candidate's overall examination grade, depending on the subject.
Candidates who complete an SBA will NOT have to sit the 3rd CXC exam.
Students who register in the Continuing Education Programme for subjects that carry SBAs will NOT be registered to sit the 3rd exam at the time of registering for CXC exams - they must submit an SBA.
